Today I got a battery for the cache on my my HP P410 raid controller. After getting the battery charged, I thought it could be fun to see how fast it could actually write to the raid. And then it hit me… I never actually tested it without the write cache, because without the battery, it is not safe to […]

Recently I replaced my old QNAP nas with a HP ProLiant MicroServer N54L. I then wanted to move everything I had from the QNAP nas to my new HP server, and it all went well, except for a lot of trash files I wanted to get rid of. One of the problems was quite a lot of folders named “.@__thumb” which […]

Not everyone might be looking for speed like in a racing game, or driving from point A to point B like in Euro Truck Simulator, but maybe they might be looking for an off-road challenge. This challenge could be Spintires, where you also need to go from point A to point B, but you can’t just drive there, because there […]

Recently (24th of December 2014) something in my computer went wrong. Hard drives was suddenly detected as upside down Yen symbols, with a circle on, or as @ @ @ @ in the entire length of the monitor.
